The Glover Club, of Philadelphia, for the
second time in its existence, has been obliged
to succumb to a speech. That somewhat
celebrated organization invites the distin-
guished guests and guys them so unmerci-
fully when they arise to respond to toasts
that the guests are soon downed, unable
from a loss of temper or confusion to pro-
coed. Mr.. Chauncey NJ Depew, the other
evening, parried the assaults SO deity that
the club was obliged to yield and let him
finish his speech.

Cured years ago, when Col Pat DOMAIN
swept down from Dakota like cyclone and
knocked the club out SO quickly that for a
few minutes it seemed as if lightning had
struck it, and every member gasped for
breath. Col. Pat swinging his long arms
and mounting q chair, began:

thieves and fiabigasters, | come from the

Celt, ''that you would never be able to see it

This settled it. For an hour Col. Pat con-

metaphor and invention that probably was
ever delivered. 1t was Immediately taken
by the Northern Pacific railway, printed in
the form of flaming circulars, and millions

AbberiIe Medium, September !.
To-day is the twenty-ffth anniver'
sary of the battle of Ox-Hill or Chan
tilly as the Yankees call it. The
battle was fought late in the day,
during heavy rain. During the
heat of the engagement William R.
N1cKinny, familiarly known as ''Bill,"
a member of Co. B., Orr's Rifles, had
his gun to burst in his hands. Near
him was a comrade down on the
ground groaning as if he was nearly
dead AS "Bilr' was without a gun
the captain ordered him to carry out
the wounded man. Bill got him on
his back and struck out for the rear.
In few hundred yards William set
the wounded man dowa to rest when
shell exploded just above their
heads. The cripple jumped to his
feet and although pursued on dead
run for a quarter of a mile he was
never osaataken but disappeared
through the dripping woods as if he
had wings to his feet.
BILL" spent the balance of
the day watching a staff officer
who would stand behind a tree
and peep around it with his field glass
until bullet would hit the tree and
then run to another tree, repeating
the operation every time bullet
came near him. Bill got him tree
and when the officer changed trees
he did the same. They raced from
tree to tree until dark, getting away
from the firing every time. The
amusing part of the affair was that
the officer could not see twenty yards

For years the liquor dealers in
Maine have found it necessary as a

enue license was prima facie evidence
of an intention to violate the law.
Here the United States collector of

refusing to allow the State officials to

interfere with the traffic carried on in

pretty fight.

APATHETIC INCIDENT.
OF the Chatsworth Horror, as Told by
Lady Survivor.

Mrs. Merriam Grant, one of the
people wounded in the Chatsworth
disaster, was in the rear car with her
husband. In this Car was a party Of
six people. In order that they might
sit together, Mr.. and Mrs. Grant
char gao seats with a young man and
his bride. Their courtesy saved tfeir
lives, for the young couple were both
killed. Mrs. Grant thought this
party were theatrical people or con:
cert singers, they we're so jolly and
sang so well. They could sing and
they laughed and told stories and an
ticipated the pleasure of the trip un-
til late at night. Then Mrs. Grant
composed herselfin her chair and cov-
cred her face with her handkerchief to
60 to sleep. Nearly everybody in the
car was quiet but the jolly party Of
six. About this time the young
bride was requested to sing Sweet
Hour of Prayer" Something in the
desire to sleep and rest recalled the
sweet old song. The young woman
eono ond all listened while the train
sped on.
AS the little CLEAN Of devilish fire
appeared far down the track their
voices swelled in:
Yet in my dreams I'd be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee"
The speed of the train increased
down the grade. Again the song
swelled:
There let the way appear, steps unto
heaven -
The way was already in sight.
''All that Thou sendest me in mercy
giyen.'
And then with but a moment OF
life left for each. Even when poor Ed
McClintock's hand was giving its
last desperate wrench to the throttle
of his engine, the singers sang to
their God. who seemed not to be
holding them in the hollow of bis
hand:

DISASTROUS FLOODS IN TEXAS
Business Houses and Residences Swept
Away.

MORGAN, Texas, Sept 1.-The
hardest rain that ever fell in this
country began Tuesday night and
has continued without cessation.
The damage to farmers in low valley
lands in every portion of the country
is estimated at thousands Of dollars.
The Texas Central and the Gulf, COL
orado and Santa Fe railroads are
badly damaged, and it will be many
days before either of them can move
trains. The following business
houses, with all their goods, were
swept down the Basque River: Sell
lers & Hamilton's dry goods store,
Sam Franks grocery store, M.
McHails grocery, J. 81. Justices
saddle shop, Anderson's furniture
store and three cotton gins. Nine
residences were also washed away.
Besides these houses, which are en-.
tireIy gone, every house in town is
damaged. Life is all that many OF
the citizens have left.
At Whitney, twenty-five miles east
in the hill country, q number OF
houses were washed away. At Me
ridian, a man whose name could not
be learned, was swimming to his
house to try and save some Of the
contents, when the water became toe
swift for his strength, forcing hin
into the current and drowning him.
Between here and ClelTine, dis
tance of thirty miles, there were eight
washouts on the Santa Fe road
Three of the number are large iror
bridges, which span the Nolan Rive!
at different points on the Texas Cen
tral between Morgan and Whitney
Two large iron bridges, which have
stood the storms for years, are com
pletely destroyed. Between here
and Hico. on the Central road, thirty
one miles distant, there are clever
bridges washed away. The loss tt
the railroad is over 100000. NJ
estimate can yet be made of the los

Co-Education in Georgia.
Nsao York Times, Republican.

Nsw York Times, Republican.
The Glenn bill, which has for some
time been pending in the legislature
of Georgia. is now, it appears likely
to be superseded by another meas
ure worthy only Of community OF
savages.
The question which formed the
pretext for the Glenn bill, and which
the new bill proposes to solve, is not
properly the question of co-education
at all. It is question Of the mis-
application Of public moneys. The
people of Georgia have already de-
cided against the teaching of the two
races in the same public schools.
We are bound to assume, in the ab.
sence of any testimony to the COLI
trary, that they have decided rightly
for the interest of both races. 1t is
of the utmost consequence that the
children Of Georgia, both white and
black, should be better taught than
they have been heretofore. 1t is a
matter of very much less Importance,
in any reasonable mind, whether they
are taught together or separately.
When public opinion or public preJu-
dice is in such a state that an in
sistence upon &C, education for the
blacks imperils their chance of get
ting any teaching at all the public
expense nobody but fanatic Will
urge co.education. Every sensible
person who is interested in the edu-
cation of the blacks will confne his
efforts to seeing that their share of
the appropriation for schools is Sc
cured to them and is honestly ex-
pended in giving them the equivalent
Of the teaching impaired in the white
schools. With education which is
not public the State has no occasion
to meddle. If it be true that the sem
timent of the white people CT Georgia
unalterably opposed to co-education
there is no need Of enforcing this
sentiment by statute. A teacher who
undertakes to carry on a mixed
school for profit will find that there
is no profit in it, since he will get no
white pupils. Yet the Glenn bill
proposed to make it penal ofense
for any private as well as for any
public school to take pupils Of both
races, and the excuse for the bill was
that public opinion made the bill en-
tirely unnecessary!
The one grain Of sense that was
concealed in the folly and brutality
of the Glenn bill was that an insti.
tuition which received State aid as a
school for blacks received white
pupils. This is the Atlanta univer
sity, so-called. The money accruing
from the sale of public lands and
distributed by the United States
among the States in aid of education
was divided by Georgia into two
parts. The income Of one Of these
. was allotted to the Stale university
at Athens, as a school for whites,
and that of the other to the Atlanta

Conkling's Conversion.
atlanta Constitution.

Roscoe Conkling was for several
years one Of the most conspicuous
figures on the political arena in the
United States, but during his public
life he was never man Of truly
broad and national views. His na-
ture may have tended toward liberal
ity, but he was shackled by his de-
votion to party which was essen
TALLY sectional.
Conkling's aspcrsions of the South
were not so brutal as those of Chand-
ler or Morton, but they were none
the less severe because of their ele.
gance.
On one occasion in the senate he
said he-had seen "both wings of tae
capital swarming with the enemies Of
the republie.' This was an allusion
to Southern men who were visiting
the capitol of their country over ten
years after the war.
It was the influence of Grant and
Conkling which carried New York in
1880 and made Garfeld's election
possible. The burden of Conkling's
speeches in that campaign was the
danger to the country resulting from
the influence of the South on federal
legislation. He proclaimed that the
election of General Hancock would
be a national calamity. No man
kept the sectional issue more promi.
nent in that excited contest.
Soon after Garfeld's election.
Conkling resigned his seat in the
senate on account Of quarrel of the
administration. He has been out of
politics over six years, during which
time he has devoted himself exclu'
sively to the practice of law.
Retirement from politics has en-.
abled Mr.. Conkling to build up his
shattered private estate and to attain
al emiuence at the bar which be
could never have reached if be had
continued his active and laborious
political career. Another effect OF
his turbulent scenes ofpolitical strife
has been his emancipation from sec
tional prejudice. Recently the ex'
senator was invited to attend re.
union of "the blue and "the gray
at Evansville, Indiana. In his reply
he said:
My earnest sympathy and hope
go with every movement and idea
having for it's real purpose to weld
together all sections and classes and
to make our country throughout al
it's borders united, prosperous ano
great. Could wish or act Of mine de-
eide, every community and neighbor
hood in all the land should be crowned
with the fullness of peace and pro
oress as much at the South as at the
East, the West or the North
These are noble words. They con
trast beautifully with the sentiments
which Mr.. Conkling uttered ter
years ago. 1t is more than probable
that he would prefer to be remem
